I agree. But thats not how it seems to work. I won't say its unusable when unhomed, but its 10% of its homed speed of it is jogged whle unhomed and it suffers from windup badly even running that slow. It acts like it afraid to move if not homed. The rest of the stepper motor driven stuff works well, homed or not. And it, "A" does more reversals while homing, some times visibly away from the switch, with no false switch stuff detected. Once homed it behaves itself exactly, stopping within an arc-second of where I sent it, as long as it can get stopped w/o any overshoot. Thats dangerous because the pwmgen, if coasting too far, will try to reverse it while its still turning and that crowbars and shuts down its 24 volt 10 amp supply for about a 2 minute cooldown before a power cycle by the f2 key restores it. So I'm forced to use much slower (10% or less) speeds while homing it, than it can run during normal, homed operation. > Les > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
